1. Looks can be deceiving. If you love one of
the projects, but it looks too complicated, take some time to make one
or two. You’d be surprised how fast and easy it becomes after you get a
handle of it. Also, the projects shown are quite literally step by step, with
detailed photos for each step. As a result, some of the projects look
more complicated than they actually are because of the number of steps.

2. No two are alike. For paper flower
projects, do not worry if your petals are not even, exact or symmetrical
each time. It only adds to the uniqueness of each flower.

3. Practice makes perfect. Buy a few sheets of paper to practice on before you buy enough for all your favors.

4. Before you buy. Make sure your favor will actually fit in your choice of packaging before you buy everything.

5. A word of (ribbon) advice. If you are
using satin ribbon, double face satin is the best option. With double
face satin, you don’t have to worry about tying bows with the ‘correct’
side up, as it’ll always be the ‘right’ side up.

6. If it ain’t broke… Favors often come
beautifully packaged already, especially food favors like macarons and
chocolate. Skip buying your own packaging, and just use ribbon and one
of the toppers from Tulle Box to dress it up.
